Some Disney Adults — and I certainly count myself among them — have a tendency to fixate on elements of Disney World that may pass under the radar of other guests, like cup designs, napkin patterns, or even trash cans!
New Trash Cans
This is especially true at EPCOT, where the park’s trash cans have gained cult status for many in recent years thanks to their intricate designs and some guests’ tendency to use them as tables during the park’s festivals. They’ve been celebrated in art and on t-shirts, and now they’re changing!
Disney World first began rolling out new trash cans earlier this year. Similar to models we’ve seen at Disneyland Paris, these trash cans have solar panels to collect energy, push-down bars that will open the can so you can easily throw your things away without touching the door or spilling any of your trash and creating a bigger mess throughout the day, and curved tops, which may make eating on top of them a bit harder than in the past.

During our most recent visit to EPCOT, we noticed more of the new trash cans rolling out in World Celebration, complete with EPCOT’s classic logo.
Switching out the trash cans
The differences between the old and new cans are very apparent when they’re seen side-by-side. The new cans are significantly taller and — for lack of a better term — boxier, and the curvature of the top stands out even more.
Notice the differences?
However, fret not, festival-goers: you may not be able to dine on top of the new trash cans, but Disney has installed fence tables that are big enough for several people to put their food on, so you can keep your party together and snack outside without finding a table.
They’re pretty big
Disney has continued to roll out their new trash cans at EPCOT, slowly transforming one of the park’s popular infrastructure pieces. Stay tuned to DFB for more on all the additions, large and small, coming to Disney World.
